In my case, even though I enjoy being a spectator, I don’t want to be just one. I want to try my hand at it. So when an author inspires me, I want to write. When a band excites me, I want to make music. And so on. As a result I’ve dabbled in many things, but have never become any good at any.
Also reading your post made me realize that I don’t remember having been inspired by nature to create things — it’s always the work of others that makes me want to do something.

I agree—Reading or seeing something from another human that speaks to me makes me want to create, too.
